#introduction Hi there! I'm new, looking for my niche! I'm an #environmental #science #undergraduate and #gis user starting the transition from student to professional. I spend a lot of time in #nature looking for #mushrooms and petting the #moss. When I'm home for the day, #crafts take over my life. I love #quilting, garment #sewing, #crocheting, and #furniture #restoration along with ample #cooking and #gardening. Where are my people at?
@mycologistmaybe What's up? Have you done any upholstery sewing?
@sraznoff not yet. Simple things like dining room chairs and foot stools, sure, but somehow doing anything more technical always seemed a bit overwhelming. I'm sure it's easier than I'm making it in my mind. What about you?
@mycologistmaybe I’m trying to make a yurt. Sewing the cover is so far the hardest part. Anyway clicked your profile cuz I’m a gis guy and think that’s cool you are getting into it.
@sraznoff oh my goodness, that sounds like a lot of fabric wrestling! I have a hard time getting bed size quilts under my machine, I can't imagine constructing a whole yurt. Is it going well?
I'm actually working on an abstract for a GIS related conference application right now. 😅 Have you found the GIS folks on here yet? I could use more maps in my life.
@mycologistmaybe Yeah we have it all laid out and about ready to sew, if things go poorly it will be expensive so we're kinda hemming and hawing. You are the first GIS person I found. You are working on a presentation abstract? What is your talk on?
@sraznoff I made a guided tour for a public art installation earlier this year. My advisor wants to present it at a regional conference highlighting GIS stuff. You know the science fairs we did as kids with tri-fold posters? It's basically the adult version of that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your yurt project, and you keep yours crossed for my presentation. 😊
